THE PRESIDENTS GRATITUDE.

THE PRESIDENTS GRATITUDE
Letter in Answer to Resolutions
Commencing His Veto Of the Pension
Bill.
WILMINGTON, DEL, May 21.-The Every Evening
prints to-day the following autograph letter from
President Cleveland, dated at the Executive man
sion, Washington May Is, 1887, and addressed to
Mr.. ". J. Robelin, Quartermaster, &C, Whining
ton. Del:
DEAR SR:-I am in receipt of your letter OF the
9TH inst. transmitting handsomely engrosSed 1880
lut1OnS OF Gen. U. s. Grant Post No. IL, approving
my executive action in vetoing 1.-THE dependent
pension bill. ! beg to express through you to the
members OF the Post my appreciation OF their en-
dorSement and my thanks tor the courtesy
manifested in the form OF their approval. IL
sometimes happens that Official conduct clearly
demanded by an imperative obligation OF public
duty Is made difficult by counter influences and
1nclinattons which grow out OF sympathy, or by
apparent current OF popular opinion.
'sThOse OF our citizens not holding Office, and
thus entirely free from the solemn obligation OF
protecting the interests OF the people, often fail to
realize that their public servants are to large
extent debarred in official action from the indul-
gence OF those charitable impulses which, in pri-
vate life, are not only harmless but cOmmendable.
''Whtle the deprivation should be regarded as one
OF the stern incidents OF faithful performance Of
official duty, and While it should be endured with
the resignation arising from an unfalter1ng faith
In the ultimate justice OF the American people, It
is nevertheless gratifying to receive such express
sionS as are contained in the resolutions now be-
fore me. Yours, very tryly, GROVER CLEVELAND"

nothing wiser, nothing more beneficent than in
planting and in part supporting this great enter
prise. He paid glowing tribute to the American
public school system but thought that new glor1es
were to come in wedding It to the industrial
system.

genial occupation In overlooking the great edu-
cattonal interests OF the South he is trustee OF

ment of n OOOOOO.
